US EditionTransfer: Arsenal move to sign Hincapie in €60m deal
Arsenal are preparing a bid for Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie, who prefers a move to the Emirates Stadium over Tottenham Hotspur, amid a competitive transfer window.
- Tottenham Hotspur have made a loan offer with a €60 million obligation to buy for Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie this August.
- This bid follows reports that Hincapie is pushing for a move and that Bayer Leverkusen want the release clause of €60 million activated, though they are unwilling to negotiate below it.
- Arsenal have emerged as frontrunners to sign the Ecuador international, viewing his versatility—as a left-back and center-back—and hoping to negotiate a fee below the release clause while managing planned defensive outgoings.
- Hincapie has made 166 appearances for Leverkusen, including 47 as a left-back and 14 as a left midfielder, and his agent Manuel Sierra hinted at an exit earlier this summer.
- If the transfer proceeds, it could reshape Arsenal's defense amid ongoing summer rebuilds, while Tottenham faces challenges after being beaten to key targets like Eberechi Eze.
